Okay, I admit it...

10/26/12

I am in a blogging slump.  There's just not much happening here that seems worthy of sharing.  Does that ever happen to you?  I just haven't been feeling very productive lately.  Life is good and I am enjoying the down time but exciting it aint'.


I've been playing around in my craft space some...

I've been thinking about tackling our downstairs bathroom...

I have been baking and eating way too many sweets...

I have been kicking myself for not starting all those Christmas gifts that I wanted to have finished by July...

I have been planning a little artful gathering for a few crafty friends I met at my retreat...

I have been contemplating some new fall flowers...

I have been sitting on my bum in front of my computer screen way too much...


Playing. Thinking. Baking. Eating. Kicking. Planning. Contemplating. Sitting.

That's my life right now in a nutshell.


I am on my way to my sister's place in Texas for a mini vacation with my mom.  We will be gone for five days and I am leaving my computer at home.  (Yikes, you know it's bad when I even got the shakes just typing that!)

I will be taking my camera and my phone so I won't be completely out of the loop.  If you want to see what I'm up to you can find me on Instagram under PATTYMARKER61 but other than that, I will talk to you all on Tuesday.  Hopefully, I will have something interesting, pretty or fun to share with you then (that or my bum will be even bigger).  Hopefully the former not the latter.

Have a wonderful weekend.

xo, Patty

    I am also contemplating on what to blog about. I am not a big Halloween person therefore I really don't have that much in that theme to blog about but on the other hand I love Christmas and can't wait for Halloween to pass so I can move on with what I have been making this year. Have fun on your trip. Shari

    Yes! Sometimes the ideas just don't come and other times I'm just not in the mood! Flip through a magazine, visit Pinterest, surf the 'net - that helps me get the creative juices flowing again.

    My feeling is that life is to be lived not just blogged about :) So enjoy your trip and being computer free!

    But it sounds like you're doing so much, even if some of it is just thinking! I love visiting here because I'm a fellow color lover. Be safe and have fun!

    I always enjoy your posts, Patty. Sounds like you have been doing quite a bit. I struggle too with post material. It seems I either have a lot to say or nothing. Lately, if it wasn't for my sewing projects, I can't think of anything enteresting. Well, this too shall pass. Have fun at your sisters and will look forward to pictures of Texas. I don't know how to use instagram, but guess I need to learn. Oh, and forgot to tell you last time, I like your new picture.

    I get in blogging slumps, too and like Beverly (above), it seems I either have a lot to talk/write about, or nothing. I hope you have a great mini vacation with your mom!

    Patty, I understand. I have recently tried writing and it isn't working. I usually tell others my muse is taking a vacation. Have a wonderful visit with you Mom. I am certain you will come home refreshed.

    Patty, yes, I have slumps as well. Infact life gets busy and then too much time goes by and then I feel as though I've worn out my welcome in blogland. But you always have lovely posts! Enjoy your week.
